XRF spectrometer

An XRF (X-ray fluorescence) spectrometer is an analytical tool that identifies and quantifies the elemental composition of materials. It works by directing X-rays onto a sample, which then emits secondary X-rays. These emitted X-rays are specific to the elements present in the sample. The spectrometer detects and analyzes these signals, allowing scientists to determine what elements are in the material and in what amounts. XRF is widely used in various fields, including environmental monitoring, quality control in manufacturing, and archaeological studies, because it is non-destructive and can analyze solid, liquid, and powdered samples.
